"It's all Martial Soul Hall's fault, always up to no good..." Tang San murmured, a fierce glint passing through his eyes.
"Ah."
Tang Hao sighed, "Right and wrong, who can really tell?"
"Come, Xiaosan, follow me to see your mother."
Tang Hao gently ruffled Tang San's hair with his hand.
"Mom is here?"
"Do you see that waterfall in the distance? There's a hidden cave there, and that's where I planted the Bluesilver Emperor seed."
"What!" Tang San exclaimed, his body jolted, "Even if the Blue Silver Grass has extremely strong vitality, it's incredibly hard for it to survive in dark and damp conditions."
After hearing Tang Hao's words, he couldn't help doubting, had Tang Hao killed the Blue Silver Emperor?
Tang Hao shook his head, "Xiaosan, you're overthinking it. I've created a stone chamber in the cave, and even carved a hole at the top to let the sun in every day."
"Ah, so..."
"That's how it is."
Shame immediately flooded Tang San's face, "Dad, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"It's alright." Tang Hao shook his head, "I'll take you there now."
Tang Hao's complexion had improved a lot after a few days of recuperation.
Though not fully healed, a brief flight was no challenging feat for him.
In the blink of an eye,
he led Tang San through the waterfall and into the pitch-black cave.
"Don't worry, your mother won't have any problems here."
Seeing the worry on Tang San's face again, Tang Hao patted his shoulder and walked forward first.
Before long, a glimmer of light appeared before their eyes.
"Xiaosan, do you see it? Up ahead is the stone chamber I made. Are you still worried about the light now?"
Tang Hao pointed to the light ahead and said, "Your mother is now basking in the sunlight, enjoying the warmth. Her growth here is foolproof, there won't be any problems."
"Dad, let's hurry and take a look."
Tang San showed immense eagerness.
Even, taking the lead towards the source of the light.
This child...
Tang Hao shook his head helplessly but still quickly followed.
However,
when Tang Hao arrived at the modest stone chamber, he found Tang San standing in place with his back to him, shaking all over.
"What's wrong?"
"Xiaosan, are you afraid to see your mother? Be brave, she will be so happy to see you."
Tang Hao encouraged him from behind.
Tang San didn't turn around, still facing away from Tang Hao, he asked, "Dad, are you sure that this is my mother, without a doubt?"
Tang Hao's brows immediately furrowed, his tone becoming somewhat annoyed, "What kind of question is that? Just because she's now a plant, you can't accept it?"
"No, it's not that I can't accept it, nor that I don't acknowledge her..."
With that, Tang San suddenly turned around, and furiously shouted, "Tang Hao, look at the great thing you've done, you've killed Mom!"
What!
Killed her!
At those words, Tang Hao instinctively looked towards the patch of light under which lay a mound of soil...
He saw a withered little grass, standing lonely atop the mound.
There was not a hint of life in it.
Even, if a strong gust of wind blew by, it would crumble to pieces.
Boom!
It was as if thunder had exploded in Tang Hao's mind.
He felt numb all over, standing there, at a loss.
"How could this be..."
"When I left, it was all fine."
"How did it turn out like this..."
His mind was in chaos, he was losing coherence, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Tang Hao, is this your idea of foolproof?"
Not caring about Tang Hao's reaction, Tang San just wanted to vent his dissatisfaction, "Do you want to know why this happened?
Let me tell you, it was the hole you dug that killed Mom. Lightning passed through that hole and struck her. Even a faint arc of electricity is enough to obliterate the fragile Blue Silver Grass..."
"It's unimaginable how desperate Mom must have been at that moment."
